Sinbrilee | Dreaming | Death


Life. Dreaming. Death. Three realms overlaid upon one another and yet each distinctly their own. They dwell in Life and do so live upon the back of the great turtle as those of Sinbrilee did upon the shell of his sister. However, there stand numerous arches of marble throughout the ruined city that are inlaid with runes beyond understanding. Those that live and breathe which step through those whose runes glow with faint, iridescent light tread instead into the realm of Dreaming.

Here, there exists no single defining characteristic beyond the visitor's imagination. The landscape sculpts to their individual thoughts, the events to their dreams. From a drab gray nothing to the most brilliant of displays, the senses perceive all that they wish to perceive for all that nothing here truly exists. This far from Tu Vishan, the ability to shape their surroundings is all they have, for Sinbrilee's Dreaming does not have the energy to sustain powers, only the bodies of those that dwell here.

Should two parties near, then the Mesh begins. Dreams, you see, not only can be shared, but they strive to be. These visions sculpted into reality reach out for one another and blend. They begin an exchange akin to a linking of the minds, within which one visitor can learn the other's deepest thoughts. Their limitation is but compatibility, for two minds that cannot flow upon the same current cannot hold the Mesh.

Happiness or loss, the landscape and events play out memories and fancies with a most convincing air. The mood rises and falls with the tide of the visitor's mind, detached as they are from the soothing influence of a great turtle's mind. Nothing here, however, is real; 'constructs' simply fade if taken through the archways and even the greatest scientific minds or tools will reveal nothing of its source. This is an ancient magic of an ancient realm, long practised in concealing itself from any prying.

Note: Due to the fluid and highly individual nature of Dreaming, no official subheaders will be provided in the comments of this post. Feel free to post and thread however you like, so long as the rules of Dreaming are adhered to.

[ For a moment, he starts to believe that he has again come across a dream that is strictly his; however, there is a darkness here that consumes and surrounds with a swiftness not present within his own. There is a lack of peripheral light, and it presses upon him potently, no matter the absence of what watches and what dares not to. This is a deep, but this is a deep that seems to hold no illusions or false promises. He knows it, in his own way, and the knowledge of it prickles up the back of his neck, devoid of the usual gold that is cast around it.

His footing is strong - he has always been strong -, and though the current threatens around him, he has faced deeper floods than these. He has felt the passage of water at the fathomless, pale stretch of the ocean floor. He has seen and not seen more than any before his time, after. Even still, there is a presence in here that cannot be dismissed. There must be. And even in the haze, he scans for any spot of life, the knotted chiming of his heavy earrings lost beneath the water's continual roar. ]


( ooc: I thought it could be interesting to cast him at her, if you're all right with him! He has a bit of a list of subjects he carries potentially with him (here), which I can avoid at will as almost all would appear in metatext. But, in being peripherally aware of some aspects of her canon, I thought what is essentially a spirit recently given a permanent body could be interesting. That aside: let me know if this is okay! )

Who's there? [The mist may muffle sound, but Sabriel's learned to listen carefully. Her pace is measured as she walks forward- her sword unsheathed, but not held in a guard position as she seeks out the other presence.

She might not be afraid, but she does possess some caution, and she knows how to move in a way that makes only a minimal amount of noise.]
